Crossing Over
Let's go, let's go.
Ready for them?
Rosie, open up.
Vamos. Afuera. Vamos.
Okay, let's go.
- Just give me five.
- What?
What do you want me to do?
Look, it's not my problem.
All I'm asking, Stevens,
is did the old man get seen to?
He was sweating and shaking
when I put him on the bus.
He said his arm felt numb.
Jesus Christ, Brogan.
Everything is
a humanitarian crisis with you.
You signed off on more
orders of recognizance
than the rest of your unit combined.
Don't give me that sh*t.
The man's about to have
a goddamn heart attack.
I want him seen to.
Here he is.
Your guy was given
a clean bill of health by Doc Sturgess.
He bused out three hours ago.
You happy now?
Yeah, I'm happy now.
Hey, Max, you're coming
on Wednesday, right?
For my dad's nationalization party?
Max, it's an important thing
in my culture
to make my father proud.
You know they've been
wanting to meet you.
I give you my word,
they're not as scary
as I made them out to be, okay?
You better do it before
they blow the lunch whistle.
All right, let's go, compadres. Let's do it.
Get down!
- Over there.
- I got it. Sorry.
What you waiting for, Brogan?
A marriage proposal?
Come on.
Come on.
Hey, hey! Gene.
I got her. Thanks.
No, no, no.
No es posible.
Muy bonita. You get her number?
I smell an O.R.
Yeah, he's always giving
the pretty ones a pass,
sometimes even
the not-so-pretty ones.
- Oh!
- Okay?
Now knock it the f*** off.
Okay, everybody say,
"Thank you, Mr. Kossef,
for singing that beautiful song."
Thank you, Mr. Kossef.
You know, that was actually
a pretty tough crowd.
Yeah.
Well, was I sh*t?
No, actually.
No, and for somebody
who just learned the song last night,
- I thought you did a very good job.
- Oh, good.
'Cause I had absolutely no idea
- what I was singing about.
- Yeah.
- Oh, you could tell?
- Yeah, and also,
please don't take this the wrong way,
but what kind of Jew gets
hired at a Jewish day school
who doesn't speak any Hebrew
or even really, like, know
the first thing about Judaism?
Well, I guess, the atheist kind.
Excuse me?
No, I'm sorry.
It's just... I just needed a job.
And it was actually my manager's mom
- is the principal of the school.
- Ah.
- You didn't completely suck.
- Oh, thank you.
I do not want you to say
a word about this to anyone.
I mean anyone.
It could be very serious
trouble for the school,
- and for me.
- No, I'm not gonna say anything.
I want you to know
I am only doing this
because of my son,
because he says to me, "Mom, Gavin
is going to be an important musician."
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
Otherwise, I wouldn't do anything like this.
Well, thank you. Thank you, Rachel.
Honestly, I can't thank you enough.
She'll be right along, ma'am.
Thank you.
Oh.
Mmm. Mmm.
Hold on just a second.
Would you like to draw?
Here you go, honey.
I have something else
for you this week, too.
Your teacher, Madame Ntende,
sent this to me in the mail.
She said that you lost it
right before you left
and that you were really sad.
And she found it a few weeks ago.
Honey, it's gonna be
a little while longer,
and we are working very hard
to find you a good mommy.
She won't ever replace
your real mommy,
but she will love you.
And I promise that she'll never leave you.
The men
involved in this terrorist attack
have been vilified,
demonized, and condemned
by the Western world.
But we never want to talk
about the 9/11 Jihadists as real people.
The media and our leaders
as terrorists and monsters
and murderers.
But shouldn't we try
to understand them as human beings?
F***, no.
Everybody calls them cowards
for murdering helpless passengers
and causing the deaths
of thousands of innocent lives.
- What would you call them?
- Hey.
It's the truth.
But cowards do not knowingly
sacrifice themselves
for a greater cause.
- I don't agree at all.
- The cause is to kill us?
You may not agree with their cause...
I don't understand why she's up there.
But I do not believe their actions
were either cowardly or irrational.
You know you don't want
to hear this sh*t, Ms. B.
She's talking.
I feel that, like the oppressed
Palestinian people,
or the Iraqi citizens
under occupation
in their own homeland,
that they found themselves without a voice.
Hey.
And that the only way for them to be heard
is to scream with the might of tons of steel
and thunderous jet engines
behind them upon impact.
Okay, okay.
Their voices were heard.
You may not like what they had to say
or how they got their message across,
but for the first time, we heard it.
We gotta listen to this sh*t?
- What we heard was a cry for justice.
- Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Okay, okay. Yes, thank you.
Hey, Ms. B., thank you.
I am... I am not sure
that that was the point
of the assignment, Taslima,
but, uh, yes, it was
certainly thought-provoking.
- Bullshit.
- Yeah, bullshit.
You can sit down now.
College is hungry for her.
F***ing traitor.
Crybaby.
Why don't you get
the f*** out of our country
and go back to camel-humping
Saudi Arabia,
- where the f*** you camel-humpers live.
- Brian. Brian.
I know you're upset,
but I'm not going to condone
an outburst like that.
Yo, what's your name? Taslima bin Laden?
Hey, yo, I just got one question, Ms. B.
Did you frisk her? What if the b*tch
be strapped with dynamite
or TNT or something?
She going to get a grenade!
- Yo, take us all out.
- Boom!
Marcus!
Sure, I'm up for that.
Oh, sh*t, it's my brother.
Hey.
I thought I told you not to come.
Javier's giving me a ride home.
It's on my way.
I just need five minutes to finish up.
I'm in the middle of an order.
Look at you. Cover yourself up.
Just go.
I'll meet you in the car.
Please.
- Um, Heavy-eye?
- Javier.
Hi, I'm Claire.
We spoke on the phone, remember?
Right. Yeah.
Okay.
Is that okay?
Yeah, it's good.
Come back on Friday.
Friday. Is that the soonest?
Yeah.
Okay. See you Friday. Okay.
He's lying. I did it last night.
##
Oh, mama's boy taking out garbage.
Who made you the b*tch of the family?
- You got no sister to do your grunt work?
- We take turn.
You gotta keep that sh*t
under control, motherf***er.
Tomo. Let's hit it.
Where to?
Damn.
Oh, sh*t, I got this little Glock, homie.
Okay, check it out.
Wan's uncle's into him for 50 large.
Pays out on Saturdays,
gets the cash in the store
Friday night right before closing.
We're gonna roll by and scope it out.
Yeah, you the b*tch.
Give Yong the Ruger. Sweet gat, yo.
Tell me this don't make
your little chachi hard.
- P*ssy.
- Yong, you're gonna pop your cherry, fool.
- That's right.
- You up for that, Yong?
Better be, homie.
By sunbathing,
crocodiles accelerate
the chemical reactions in their bodies.
Once the croc is up to speed...
No, I don't know her name.
I'll recognize her when I see her.
Yes. Andasol Fabrics.
I'm gonna come down
and have her released on an O.R.
